Recently i switched from NVIDIA to ATI, to be concrete i buyed a
XFX radeon 5850 BLACK EDITION to replace my old NVIDIA 8800 ultra.
I can recommend this videocard to anyone who is looking for a new one
with directX 11 capabilities for an acceptable price.
At first i was content with the performance until i noticed a drastical
drawback: the PCSX2 emulator runs horribly with the new card.
The general performance of the emulator suffers greatly since i have switched the videocards. Even at the startscreen of tales of the abyss the performance drops below 50% and so do all other games i have played.
I noticed that the performance allways drops below 50% when some bloom-effects are shown like the window in the startscreen at TotA.
There were no problems like that with my old 8800 ultra, which could handle the entire game with 100%, and i think that it is strange that my new 5850 cant handle something my old ultra could.
I already tried several things like playing around with GsDX but it didn change anything at all. I hope you guys can help me with this one.
my Specs: Intel Core 2 Duo E 6750 @ 3.2 GHz
XFX Radeon 5850 BE
4GB DDR2 Ram
